One of the first things I do in any traditional media piece including humans or animals is the eyes. If you fuck up the eyes there’s no point in pushing through, nothing else will make it look alive.

Made a very small A4 painting for a private show a couple of weeks ago, but it was shown digitalized on a much larger scale. Someone fell in love with it and commissioned me to paint it 50x80 cm 🫠 so I finally cut a piece of my giant canson watercolor paper roll and now I’m on the struggle bus

Oh, so everyone is being absolutely batshit crazy about my country on here too. Amazing dehumanization campaign going on right now, came on here trying to escape from the insanity but every post I see is about argentinians being racist or shit people according to ya’ll. Reflect. Seriously.

Salem got her FeLV vaccine today and took it like a champ ❤️‍🩹 I’ve been waiting for the vaccine to get here ever since we adopted her. Even though she’s an indoor cat the stray population here is widely infected and we didn’t want to take any chances.

Last world cup I watched only the final match and we won. So this year I’m making the sacrifice of following the score through google and watching no matches to sustain the cábala. So far so good 🇦🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️

A friend commissioned this one for her roommate. Figaro was such a silly, playful, loving cat. He sadly passed away a couple of months ago ❤️‍🩹 this one is based on their favorite picture of him. #petportrait #charcoal #art #cat

Just got a text from a student at 11 pm on a Thursday asking if I’ve really annulled their exam for plagiarism. Common sense is DEAD, shame has left the building 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyone who knows me knows the amount of work I’ve put on their classes and how much I care about motivating them and teaching. It all felt like a huge, senseless, waste of my time, effort and expertise. I wonder if this is what teachers in other countries are facing.

My students had their final exam today and I’m sad and angry ): I’m glad I decided to stop teaching, it was truly disrespectful the level of work they put in, the blatant use of AI, the lying in my face, most of them got there over an hour late. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Its so shameless that I kinda figure Devon probably used AI to generate a reference and had no way of knowing how similar it was to the actual original. Which is one of the many reasons using AI for reference is a stupid idea. Either way he should just own up to it, it’s looking really bad.

I saw Gavin’s post on IG and since Devon deleted his posts I couldn’t find his copies anywhere, Google showed me these same thread on Mastodon and I looked you up here since I don’t have an account over there. Thanks for documenting it!

Yo no vi los clásicos, solo desde 9, y lo vi desordenado porque me presentaron directo a 11 y recién con mi marido miré de 9 en adelante y las que salieron después. Nuestro matrimonio tuvo temática de Doctor Who, nos encanta. Te digo más, si tenemos una nena le vamos a poner Amelia por Amy Pond.

Smith es el primero que yo vi, lo quiero mucho, pero Tennant es mi favorito 😅 como showrunner me gusta más Moffat, que es el que manejó las temporadas de Smith, pero la interpretación de Tennant para mi es el Doctor más Doctor. Smith tiene un cap con Van Gogh que hasta el día de hoy es mi favorito

Se asociaron para la anterior temporada y salían todos en disney pero no fue muy buen negocio me parece. Yo la verdad no te lo puedo ver doblado jajaja aprecio el laburo pero si puedo evitarlo siempre miro en idioma original… salvo anime, que suelo ver en doblaje estadounidense 😬

Jajaj es que terminaron la ultima temporada de Doctor Who (serie brit sci-fi) con un cliffhanger muy loco y ahora anunció el showrunner que ya se va y que el especial de navidad donde se iba a aclarar eso ya no se va a hacer; pero la serie vuelve con la BBC y rompe con Disney (que es mejor al menos)

Please fight me on this if I’m understanding it wrong, but it feels tremendously dumb to finish Ncuti’s run as the Doctor with a teased Billie regeneration and then say nah nvm no christmas special. It felt forced at the time but come on, stick to your gunsss pal 😞

I once looked for all the emails in the concept art team for the videogame Ori And The Blind Forest (I found like 5 people I think) to let them know they made me like videogames. I felt really silly doing it but it genuinely changed how I enjoyed the medium and had to reach out.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

"But, two years since its launch, the site has around just 10% of X’s estimated global users." This is presented as a failure. At 2yo, having 10% of the users of its biggest rival, which is 20yo, is a failure. No tech is allowed to just be a success, it has to be a blockbuster or it doesn't count.
cnbc.com
Bluesky was launched as a Twitter rival — but it's far less popular. Now it's eyeing Reddit for inspiration
"I think the public square is not the direction we want to go in...we're very inspired by companies like Reddit," Bluesky's Rose Wang told CNBC.
